I wonder if Fox has taken a big hit from the arrival of Paul Stuart. I used to get MTM Samuelsohn at Fox, but switched to PS once they arrived because I like the PS Samuelsohn cut a bit better. It's a pleasant little store, but I have to wonder if it gets any new customers.

Good band but weekday concerts are too hard for us older dudes who go to work early. Thanks for the invite!

Thanks for the invite.... but what @smittycl said.... maybe meetup for a weekend concert in the future??

lol I prefer weekend concerts but I keep missing them whenever they're in town performing. I'm always open to music or drinks over the weekend. Just keep the thread updated.

It used to be more lively and hope they come back. But the store doesn't have much inventory and they're not restocking.

That’s the usual sign of impending closure. I watched the Paul Stuart outlet slowly do that over a few months last year.

A goodwill in this area?

Does anybody have a bespoke tailor in the DMV they really recommend? I had a great guy in Los Angeles who died several years ago. Since then, I have tried a couple MTM options and haven't been impressed and, frankly, have body shape issues that really require a bespoke option. I'll take any and all suggestions (even for MTM.) Thanks in advance!

Will Field is the first to come to mind. I think a few of his customers are on StyleForum.

No, it was in the metro Atlanta area.

I've done some alternations with Field. Not only did he train under his father, but he also trained at Gieves and Hawkes on Saville Row from what I recall.

I've had a very good experience with Ezra Paul mtm. It helps to know a little bit about what you like (lapel width, gorge height, shoulder slope, for example) but I've found his fit and construction to be better than other mtm I've tried in the area.

Is shortening a pair of sleeves on a dress shirt pretty easy thing to do? My office is close to Geoffrey Lewis and wondering if anyone has experience with them. I know they do bespoke. My wife bought me a RL Purple Label dress shirt over the weekend but the sleeves are a tad bit long.

(I told her I can get T&A shirts for less and she said STFU and let me treat you for once).
